black florida fighting conch. there is only one herd of them in the wild. i have seen them before but haven't been able to google a pic for you all. they aren't protected, but they are so rare I haven't had the hear to collect one...
With the exception of the rarest of these, (the black fighting conch), these species are all illegal to take, and not in the hobby etc...so it isnt going to happen for me. If you had framed the fish questions as favorite vertebrate, hands down I want a sea turtle tank. This is actually possible if you collect an injured sea turtle, or a baby sea turtle for educational purposes and acquire the right permit. So many of sea turtles are injured by fishing line and baby sea turtles that get nipped by fish or birds that they are easy to find, but without the right permit you just have to swim by and know they will eventually die. I tried calling once to have one picked up, (there is a local sea turtle rehabilitation center) but no one ever came...

I would have just collected it and brought him/her in to the shelter, but I would probably be arrested. Maybe I will do that next time and try to find someone to vouch for me that I was doing the right thing...I don't know...
